This was exposed with AP spinup of Linux, and
booting OpenBSD, where the CR0 register is unconditionally
written to prior to the longjump to enter protected
mode. The CR-vmexit handling was not updating CPU state which
resulted in a vmentry failure with invalid guest state.
A follow-on submit will fix the CPU state issue, but this
fix prevents the CR-vmexit prior to entering protected
mode by properly initializing and maintaining CR* state.

This fixes the issue with FreeBSD 9.1 MP guests exiting the VM on

An array-type stat in vmm.ko is defined as follows:
VMM_STAT_ARRAY(IPIS_SENT, VM_MAXCPU, "ipis sent to vcpu");
It is incremented as follows:
vmm_stat_array_incr(vm, vcpuid, IPIS_SENT, array_index, 1);
And output of 'bhyvectl --get-stats' looks like:
ipis sent to vcpu[0] 3114

Prior to this change pinning was implemented via an ioctl (VM_SET_PINNING)
that called 'sched_bind()' on behalf of the user thread.
The ULE implementation of 'sched_bind()' bumps up 'td_pinned' which in turn
runs afoul of the assertion '(td_pinned == 0)' in userret().
Using the cpuset affinity to implement pinning of the vcpu threads works with
both 4BSD and ULE schedulers and has the happy side-effect of getting rid
of a bunch of code in vmm.ko.

If the MSI-table is located in the middle of a BAR then we will split the
BAR into two and create two mappings - one before the table and one after
the table - leaving a hole in place of the table so accesses to it can be
trapped and emulated.

On a nested page table fault the hypervisor will:
- fetch the instruction using the guest %rip and %cr3
- decode the instruction in 'struct vie'
- emulate the instruction in host kernel context for local apic accesses
- any other type of mmio access is punted up to user-space (e.g. ioapic)
The decoded instruction is passed as collateral to the user-space process
that is handling the PAGING exit.
The emulation code is fleshed out to include more addressing modes (e.g. SIB)
and more types of operands (e.g. imm8). The source code is unified into a
single file (vmm_instruction_emul.c) that is compiled into vmm.ko as well
as /usr/sbin/bhyve.

In the case where the underlying host had disabled MSI-X via the
